9 1/2 months.

It's crazy to me that I am going to have to start thinking about Mason's 1st birthday in 3 months.
Time flew right by.
He isn't doing anything new.. he is just doing what he was doing faster!
He crawls crazy fast.
It makes me laugh.
We sure do have fun watching him grow.
I am really hoping to get out to Missouri to see everyone before he gets too big.
I want you all to meet him before he gets too big.
He is just so stinking cute!
But we will see.
Money is tight for all of us.

We walk down to the park all the time
Mason thinks there is nothing better then the swings,
and the grass.

Here he is decked out in his green outfit for St. Patrick's Day.
Mom came up and hung out with us at our house and we went shopping
at carters in the outlets.
I didn't know there was a carters.
I was in heaven i love their baby clothes.

He loves books.
Always has.
We just have to watch him close cause the second we turn away he will have that book all torn apart.

And last but not least..
Mason got his big boy car seat.
It is funny to turn around and see him looking at me.
It is such a cute car seat.
AJ's dad got it for him.
It's a simpson racing seat.

24 hour flu.

So this last weekend was a rough one.
My little mason turned 9 months on Friday
and the poor little guy caught a flu bug.
We went to our friend Cassie and Joe's house to see their new dog
and by the time we got home around 8 he was barfing.
He threw up every half an hour till about 11 and then
went to sleep for the night.
He didn't throw up again till the next day around 3.
and then he was done.
But that wasn't the last of the evil flu bug!!
I got super sick Sunday evening around 6.
I was barfing every hour until 3 the next afternoon.
When they say 24 hour flu bug they aren't kidding.
I'm pretty sure the flu is the worst thing ever to have.
Thankfully AJ stayed home Monday to help me with the baby
cause i just couldn't do it myself.

Mason is one funny kid.
He is crawling everywhere and cruising along things all over the house.
He loves to eat everything!!
He also loves to play in daddy wires for the tv.
he starts to go over there and i will catch him and say
Mason No No
and he starts crawling as fast as he can to the tv.
punky boy.

I took him over to mom's house yesterday
and he encountered stairs for the first time..
he didn't even hesitate he just crawled right up them.
I'm pretty sure he wanted the cat at the top of the stairs and would
stop at nothing to get to him.
He is such a smart, happy, boy
I just love him to pieces.
